PREFACE. 


The    Commissariot    of  Lauder    was    co-extensive    with    the    County    of 
Berwick. 

The  Register  of  Testaments  is  contained  in  ten  volumes,  viz. — 

1.  1561  to  23rd  July  1566. 

I  A.  (II)  24th  June  1627      to  September  1634. 

2.  i6th  September  1634  to  12th  January  1641  and 
2nd  July  1650  to     5th  April  1653. 

3.  5th  April  1653  to  29th  May  1665. 

4.  14th  May  1667  to  14th  April  1679. 

5.  2nd  April  1679  to  19th  December  1710. 

6.  1 6th  January  171 1         to  20th  April  173 1. 

7.  3rd  May  1 73 1  to  loth  May  1743. 

8.  2ist  June  1743  to  16th  December  1760. 

9.  20th  January  1761        to  17th  December  1782. 

Volume  Ia.  has  been  dehberately  destroyed  some  time  previous  to  its 
transmission  to  the  Lord  Register's  Department,  the  pages  having  been  cut 
out  about  an  inch  from  the  binding,  so  that  only  a  small  part  of  the  Testa- 
ments now  remains,  in  many  cases  only  the  rubric.  The  names  of  many 
of  these  Testaments  are  now  lost,  and  of  others  only  fragments  remain. 
These,  as  far  as  it  has  been  found  possible  to  recover  them,  have  been 
included  in  an  Appendix  at  the  end  of  the  General  Index. 

In  addition  to  the  above  volumes  there  are  three  bundles  of  unrecorded 
Testaments  covering  the  period  from  1680  to  1822,  and  a  portfolio  of 
Scroll  Testaments  for  the  years  1652  to  1653.  These  relating  to  the  period 
before  1800  have  been  included  in  this  Index,  and  are  indicated  by  T. 
and  S.  T. 

The  other  Records  preserved  in  the  Register  House  comprise — 

Record  of  Inventories,  1807  to  1823  with  Index. 

Record  of  Decreets,  1661  to  1755. 

Minute-Books,  1652  to  1702. 

Diet  Books,  1658  to  1821.

index).
